Sweet mother of God, it's even more holy than I could have ever imagined! I'll never badmouth WB again. Everything about this looks absolutely perfect, even the price. Only $100 suggested retail for 14 discs?!? You know places like Best Buy and Amazon will have it for only $75. This really is the year of Superman!

So, it has Superman 78, Superman II (both versions), plus III and IV and Returns and all the documentaries. Cause, wow, I'm there, and it's only $100! Wow, that's about how much I was probably going to spend just on Returns, The Movie and The Donner Cut of II. But if I can get that much more for only a few bucks extra than I'm definitly there.

Superman Returns is the ultimate extra feature !!! I actually am SUPER-Interested in that offer for the reproductions of the Theatrical posters THAT WARNER SHOULD HAVE USED FOR THE BOX ART !!!!!! THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOO MINE. I hate that Kevin smith's 2nd Q&A and Clerks 2 comes out the same day . Time to start saving ......

Damn, that is more like it. I am going to be so tempted by this. I wonder if R2 will get something similar? And now I won't have to worry about looking at any awful artwork. And what a sweet price!! I can't believe they are being so nice to the fans, finally. It rarely ever happens. WB was definately holding out for this one. THANK YOU WB!!!!

About frickin' time they announced this! So this has everything that is being made available seperately except for the Supergirl DVD - right?

Slightly upset that I won't get the posters (as I'm in the UK but will be buying the US release) but I can't complain as this set definately gives me enough reasons to pick it up even though I'm double-dipping on a lot of it!

Also anyone know what that Superman Returns newspaper thing is in the picture?

I am also quite glad they didn't include Supergirl as I have the 2 disc LE and didn't want to sell it. Makes sense though. The only other drag is when a new superman film comes out, it will have to be bought seperately, but that is only a little problem. This set is to sweet.

That other box is specifically called the Christopher Reeve collection so presumably they're aiming that at people who just want the original films and not the new Bryan Singer one. Plus that other boxset will be $20 cheaper so will probably get more casual purchases coming up to the festive season.

Anyway the more I think about it I really wish they could throw Supergirl on there and make it a 15-disc set (I know I'm getting greedy)! That film is firmly set in the world of the Salkind movies and it's certainly a lot better than Superman IV!

That aside I can't wait to get this set - and getting Bryan Singer's video diary is an unexpected surprise. I didn't buy the Amazing Story of Superman DVD because I knew it was going to be in the boxset but I was gutted when I found out that Best Buy had done an exclusive video diary DVD with it!

Plus the Superman II special features disc has a new featurette on the Fleischer cartoons!

Knew this would turn up eventually. It'll cost a fortune to import this sucker, but I'm there all the same. Big fan of the first two films, and I'm looking forward to seeing the Donner cut. I also enjoyed SR for what it was, although Superman III and IV are a bit lame.

MEMDB, not only does it contain Returns and extra disks, but it also contains both versions of Superman II. Beyond that, the swag for this set also steps it up a notch too (as far as I know, there is no swag included with the Reeve collection).

I will be honest, I'm a sucker for swag. That is the way to sucker me in. Give me something I can't otherwise attain.
